Seattle's Mayor Durkan takes one more shot at socialist city council member on her way out

2021-11-05

[HOTAIR] As I pointed out yesterday, it looks like Seattle
Seattle

...a formerly lovely city in Washington state, governed by communists, anarchists, dipshits, and other sorts of incompetents. Home to Starbuck's, Boeing (at least for now), and Amazon, Microsoft, and Costco, the city became rich beyond its wildest dreams. All that money attracted the usual sort of grifting politician, and it's well on its way to chewing off the hand that feeds it...

gave an interview to King 5 yesterday in which she described the reasons she ultimately decided not to run for reelection. Durkan explained there were multiple death threats aimed at her and her family, at least two of which have led to arrests. She says the turning point came when socialist City Council member Kshama Sawant

(pictured above) led a protest in front of her home.Councilmember Kshama Sawant went so far as to lead a march to Durkan’s home — her address was hidden by state statute due to her prior career as a U.S. attorney. Durkan’s home was vandalized.

That single act may have changed her life, especially as there were death threats made not only to her but to her entire family.

Before the march, Durkan said she and her family could take comfort knowing that the people who threatened her didn’t know where she lived. That all changed when people were led to her house...

The marches to her home continued, as did the death threats and malicious emails.

Durkan has some personal experience that caused her to be concerned about the threats against her and her family. In 2001, US Attorney Thomas Wales was murdered in his home in the Queen Anne neighborhood of Seattle. His case has never been solved despite a reward of $2.5 million for information that leads to a conviction. Durkan, who was a US attorney herself, knew Wales and tells King 5 that put the threats against her in a different perspective.

Did Sawant know what she was doing when she led an angry mob to Durkan’s previously unknown doorstep? Durkan believes so. "She did it knowing the harm that could be done," she said. As for Sawant, she never received any reprimand or punishment for her actions from other members of the city council.

#3 The hardcore progressives know what the rest of us know, but the former mayor didn't. There are no rules now. There's only what you can get away with.

OH! that's right she is part of the Seattle Junta.
